$1,000,000 Bill? Who says Florida or California has all the Stupid?

Place this one in the "you can't make this stuff up" bin. Atlanta, Geo-gah white female, at Walmart, tries to pass off $1,000,000 bill to buy what ever Chinese made shit was on hand that day and then expects change. Faced with a felony, she now claims her coin collector "estranged" husband. (So, I guess, in her mind, he should got to jail, yes?)

Million-dollar bill user pleads ignorance, blames Treasury

The United States Treasury does not make $1 million bills.
"You can't keep up with the U.S. Treasury," said Alice Pike, speaking from jail.
Pike, 35, was arrested last week at the Wal-Mart. The bill was a novelty item that can be bought at gag shops. Pike told police she got it from her estranged husband, who is a coin collector.
Pike said she first tried to buy the merchandise with two Wal-Mart gift cards. But the cashier told her the cards only had a total value of $2.32. That's when Pike says she pulled out the $1 million bill.
"All I've got is this," Pike said she told the cashier.
"I wasn't trying to pass off the bill," she said. "That's ridiculous."
A police report says Pike tried to pay for the items with the fake bill and even asked for change.
Prosecutors must decide whether to prosecute Pike on charges of first-degree forgery.

She's a keeper.
Yeah Floriduh needs to offer her free residency, She's incredible
Gift cards with just $2 on them
And then expecting change
Then throwing her ex under the bus
She also looks like she could be a great addition to the Dolphin's defensive line

Why do they show the picture of her husband?

I don't understand why they arrested it. If you try to pay with Monopoly money do they execute you?
